Alba Baptista: "I'm trying to accept only the good and leave the bad out"

We took advantage of her excellent take on the English language to conduct an interview that would reach not only her country peers, but also the fans who now follow her work from all over the world. The point? To get to know, amongst other things, "the Alba effect", sorry, "The Ava Effect".

I began watching 'Warrior Nun' some time ago and I continued during the Christmas season of 2020. I think Alba's pronunciation of (American) English is absolutely amazing for someone from Portugal. I've been in Canada 4 or 5 times in my life (only once in Portugal) and I got compliments for my English pronunciation, but I'm a 1000% sure I will never be able to compete with Alba. I'm from Holland and I've got this 'dialect-radat', but I haven't heard a milligram of Portuguese accent in this interview. If I'd just watched this interview without knowing she's from Portugal I could have sworn she was from L.A. or so. Except for this: I love the show and since I left some time between the first and the last episodes of season 1 I'm definately going to watch all of season 1 once more before season 2 begins. Alba, you're great. Keep it up. Maybe you could learn to speak Dutch some time. I'm sure you'd get the knack within a few days.
